Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2 September 2026
dranupsharma.com is operated by Dr Anup Sharma and provides educational articles, leadership resources, downloadable templates, newsletters and related professional content. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when you use this website, create a free resource-access account, sign in with Google, subscribe to updates or contact us.
Information We Collect
Depending on how you use the website, we may collect information such as your name, email address, username, optional WhatsApp or phone number, form submissions, resource-download activity and basic technical information such as browser, device and IP-related security logs.
Google Sign-In
If you choose to sign in with Google, the website uses Google OAuth through a WordPress social-login service. With your permission, Google may provide basic account information such as your name, email address and profile identifier so that a free WordPress account can be created or matched to an existing account. We do not receive your Google password.
Google sign-in information is used only to authenticate you, create or access your free resource account, remember your access and support the delivery of downloadable educational resources. We do not use Google account data to access Gmail, Google Drive, Google Calendar or other Google services unless a separate permission is explicitly requested in the future.
Download and Account Data
A free account may be required when you download editable resources. The rest of the website, including articles, newsletters, case studies, SOP guidance and resource descriptions, remains publicly accessible. Download activity may be logged to understand which educational resources are most useful and to improve the resource library.
Email and WhatsApp Communications
If you explicitly opt in, we may send educational updates, LEAD newsletter content, new-resource notices or relevant professional information by email. If you voluntarily provide a WhatsApp number and separately consent to WhatsApp communication, it may be used for relevant updates. You may unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time.
How We Use Information
Information may be used to operate the website, authenticate users, provide downloadable resources, respond to enquiries, improve content and services, maintain security, prevent misuse, understand resource demand and send communications that you have consented to receive.
Sharing of Information
We do not sell personal data to advertisers. Information may be processed by service providers necessary to operate the website, such as website hosting, WordPress plugins, email-delivery services, analytics or authentication providers. These providers process data according to their own terms and applicable privacy requirements.
Cookies and Login Sessions
The website may use cookies or similar technologies for login sessions, security, preferences, analytics and website functionality. Social-login providers may also use cookies according to their own policies.
Data Retention
Account and submission information is retained for as long as reasonably necessary to provide access, maintain records, fulfil legal or operational requirements and improve services. You may request deletion of your account or personal information, subject to any information that must be retained for legitimate legal or security purposes.
Your Choices and Rights
You may request access to, correction of or deletion of personal information associated with your account. You may also withdraw marketing consent or stop using Google sign-in at any time. Depending on your jurisdiction, additional privacy rights may apply.
Third-Party Services
This website may link to third-party websites or use third-party services. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies. Google account data used for sign-in is also subject to Google’s privacy and security practices.
Children
The downloadable professional resources are primarily intended for educators, school leaders, parents and adult users. The website does not knowingly seek to collect unnecessary personal information from children through the resource-account system.
Security
Reasonable technical and administrative measures are used to protect website and account information. However, no internet-based system can guarantee absolute security.

For privacy questions, account-deletion requests or data-related concerns, please use the contact page on dranupsharma.com.
This policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in website features, legal requirements or service providers.
